Teams expected to compete in this year's field include Jacksonville, Florida A&M, Stetson, as well as Bethune-Cookman and the host UNF Ospreys among others.
The course is located at the UNF Golf Complex at the Hoyt Learning Center.
The Osprey's host the meet for the second time in three seasons after their home event was canceled last year due to impending weather conditions.
"I'm expecting the team to work hard", said Coach Garron Jackson. "We will hopefully finish in the top three or four teams out there. I expect the women to compete well. The men should be led by
Victor Kibet and the women should be led by
Valencia Butler. So, we just have to make sure we do what we have to do to finish the race strong."
This is the second of six regular season meets, including the SWAC championship set for October 21 in Tallahassee.
